Customer reviews about Palmer PAN 04 – Thomann United Kingdom

Heavy-duty passive DI

Anonymous 17.09.2015

Very well built passive DI, sounds very good, transparent to me, or at least it's musical if there is any slight coloration. It's built like a tank, you can probably step on it (no guarantees though, I didn't try!). It feels like some Radial boxes I have in build quality, also good for stage work especially that the buttons are a bit protected by the frame that extends longer than the buttons reach in their out position. It's has some weight to it physically, so if you need 10 DIs for live and lug them around yourself, look for something a little lighter - I use this in the studio to a stage box and that works fine; the weight is a positive there so it stays in place nicely.

Sounds great

Anonymous 30.07.2016

This DI sounds great. It isn't as transparent as a Radial J48, but it really sounds great. I often use it on Novation Bass Station 2 and it sounds better through this DI than it does through the J48 or directly to a line input of a console.
Even if it were a single channel DI, it would be still great for the price.
The connectors are also reliable.
The only downside is that the chassis isn't very well protected and the paint can start chipping off if you throw it around too much. It isn't bad, though. If you take care, it can certainly last for ages. Mine still looks like new.

DI ?

Peter PG 01.05.2019

I have Neve and BSS DIs: I can not hear any difference in the sound! If you increase dramatically the signal level you start appreciating a difference in the saturation, but in the normal usage this DI is incredibly good. I did not expected such a hi standard, considering that is a Thomann brand. My intention was to have an extra stereo unit just in case, but I was surprised. Well done.

While nothing exciting, it's still a solid product

Mik-303 08.12.2020

I've been using this thing with guitar and synths and it doesn't seem to color the sound in anyway. It's very well built and the price is good, also I personally don't find any missing features that I would need so I give it 5/5.

Great for the price

Notsarty 11.02.2022

I have used this model for years in live environment, in a normal application the sound is great, the buttons hold well and the design is sturdy. When placed close to a big transformer (in my case it was a 50W guitar head) I have had a bit of cross-talk between the DI and the head when the gain was high. Overall the best DI for the price, just be careful where it is placed on stage.

Good quality DI

Anonymous 14.03.2014

Does what it says on the tin.

Excellent build quality and a reliable unit. I have had no problems using this as my main DI for connecting keyboards to various PA systems. I recommend all keyboard players who are gigging to get their own DI, because otherwise you never know what's going to be there. If you get a good quality passive DI then actually they sound fine and you never have to worry about batteries, PSUs or whether someone else is going to switch on the phantom power.

Recommended.

This is not the first DI from Palmer and not the last for sure

Alex Cioata 13.07.2020

I use this one on my pedalboard for a stereo situation, directly to the mixer.

It does the job perfectly, I never had any problems with it. It's built like a tank. I have another 2 (mono ones)

The only problem could be the buttons on one side, I happend to press them by accident while hooking up the cables. But if you're aware of their existence it's totally fine.

Crisp signal for guitar use

Funk Shuis Child 30.08.2023

Im a touring musician, and my guitar setup live needed a stereo DI box from the hosting party everywhere i played. This device works like a charm almost 2 years now (i think) and saves a lot of time for soundcheck.

Very clear sounding and unbiased output in my setup (wet stereo outputs from a guitar processor, including amp and cab simulations)

Plus i feel more professional having a whole rig set up, up to my own DI box. The soundguys feel that way about me too, anywhere i play.

Cannot complain at this price point

Aditya B 17.01.2024

PAD, link outs, clean output signal and robust housing. These are the only 4 factors I had in mind before I purchased this DI box. I am using it with my Boss GT-1000 core for the ability to split main output signal into 2 stereo outs (1 balanced through XLR outs from DI box and 1 link outputs) so in a live context I can send stereo XLR output to venue mixer to the mixing guy, and the link outputs can be used for onstage band mixer to route through in ears, even adding metronome to the in ear signal. All in all great product.
